Notes

The front door opens into a sitting-room with a wood-stove.
There is a back garden where you can enjoy views of the river and also a small grassy area at the front of the house for enjoying breakfast for example. There are steep, uneven steps and unfenced-off drops in the back garden so not suitable for small children.
Wooden stairs lead up from the living room to the next floor. The cottage is reached via a short, steep footpath. The house has central heating throughout. March 2017 note: Please note that reviews date from prior to major refurbishment - cottage has been unavailable to rent from 2014-2017.

Lovely cottage with character but one problem

This cottage was charming with a lovely kitchen diner and two comfy bedrooms. It has obviously been lovingly furnished. I loved the art work and comprehensive library and was impressed by the selection of children's toys and games. It has a wood burning stove and plenty of kitchen implements. However the main negative was the damp wall in the lounge. This improved during our stay with the use of the dehumidifier but I found the smell a big problem.

Even more charming than the photos suggest, and a nice size for 3 people. Great location.

This was a perfect sized cottage for my husband, adult daughter and I. It is very charming and well equipped, and the view is delightful. The location is great,and we loved our stay.

This is a pretty little stone cottage which has a gorgeous view of a peaceful Welsh valley.

It is in a delightful village. We enjoyed staying there. We felt the lounge needed more modern comfortable chairs to give a more cosy feeling, but otherwise it is quite comfortable.

Very quaint, well equipped, good position.

Cup of tea in bed with wonderful views

We were lucky to pick the weekend of Cardigan’s barely Saturday to stay in st Dogmaels. Great weather whilst those at home got rain. Glad we chose to stay in this cottage rather than b&b
